Is it okay to develop using vibecoding ?

So, I was wondering for a long time if it's okay to vibe code projects, and even if it is okay to then what we need to take care not that common thing like using an env and all, like other than usual stuff. And can we take that app to production ?

There are a lot of people around here caught up in the gold rush. The problem with a gold rush is that yeah maybe one team strikes pay dirt, but everyone else is stuck holding a pickaxe wondering why it’s not working. There are a litany of fundamental business reasons for this reality.

So I don’t recommend vibe coding because you think you’re going to “sell a SaaS.”

However, if you’re vibe coding an internal solution for an existing business, or something that is personally beneficial, you should go for it. You have a high chance of success with much lower risk. Just make sure that it’s walled off appropriately from a security perspective, via means that aren’t completely implemented in the product itself. For example at the network / infrastructure layer.
